章 1001: Chapter 1000: Payouts (3)

By the seventh sparring match, we were all slowly returning to doing something else, with the spars between the the Sultana and her eldest daughter still being the central point of our attention but not consuming all of it.

They were lasting longer now that Anput had tossed aside her odd reluctance to fight like she normally did, the Jackalkin's weird desire to stick entirely to the scimitar and fight like one of the Death Jackals hindering her and doing her more harm than good.

Now that she was back to her usual jack of all trades style of fighting and making use of all sorts of weapons, the Jackalkin was able to eek out a few minutes of sparring instead of merely a single minute, which allowed her to hone her skills even more than before.

Swinging a heavy axe down towards the Sultana's skull, she made use of the weight to force the Sultana into shifting positions, the idea of attempting to block something like that with a mere scimitar not much to her liking.
